Air purifiers are a guaranteed way to improve hygiene in your home and remove potentially harmful contaminants from the air that you breathe. Or, you may be wondering how effective an air purifier is and what benefits they offer.

Reduce Allergies:

Using an air purifier in your home is especially beneficial if you suffer from allergies. Some people suffer from seasonal allergies or are bothered by irritants in the environment, such as dust and other pollutants.

Today’s air purifiers are specially built to keep the indoor air clear of impurities that cause allergies and long-term health complications. This is important because regular home cleaning won’t help you get rid of all allergens.

Fight asthma and other respiratory issues

Air purifiers can help eliminate the microbes that cause allergies, asthma, and other respiratory complications. HEPA filters have an inbuilt capacity to filter over 99.9% of allergens.

Buying the best carbon filter on the market can also help you eliminate odors and airborne chemicals.

Kills germs and bacteria

An air purifier also removes dust and airborne bacteria from the air. Bacteria thrive in dirty areas and can easily spread if your air is just as filthy.

Air purifiers stop them in their tracks and prevent the spread of germs from one area to another. Air purifiers are also a great way to protect you against sickness, flu, and colds.

Reduce smell and odors

If your home or the surrounding area smells or odors, investing in an air purifier could be part of a long-term solution to the problem.

By trapping airborne particles, air purifiers help control odors. They can help make your home smell fresher faster after cooking foods with strong odors or smoking tobacco.

Reduce stress

If you have always wanted to lead a healthier lifestyle, one of the best places to start is an efficient air purifier for your home.

Air purifier benefits, besides ensuring the air you breathe fresh and clean air, is that it can be of immense help to people with a weakened immune system.

When air purifiers clean the air and remove toxins from it, they are also playing a major role in reducing your stress level and maintaining healthy mental health.

Air purifiers are a device that removes the contaminants or allergens from your room promoting an improved indoor air quality. If you are someone who suffers from allergies and is asthmatics, air purifiers will be best for you. Air purifiers remove the harmful allergens, smoke, mold, and particles from your room.

Buying an air purifier is always worth it. With air purifiers, in just 30 mins to 2 hours you can get fresh air in your room. The filter-based air purifiers are best as they won't do any harm to your health rather help you breathe fresh allergen-free air. However, not every air purifier you see is worth it; so, in order to make your purchase worthy, keep the following things in mind while buying an air purifier.

Room size

First of all, you need to know the size of your room prior to the purchase. Measure the area in square feet as the air purifier suitability depends upon the area of the room. Measure the area, then seek out for the air purifiers that apt the size of the room. Besides, allocate the area where you wish to place the air purifier as they are not small devices and will take up a lot of space off your room. If you plan on moving the device more often, go for the portable and light-weighted devices.

Filter type

Do not forget to check the type of the filter as not every filter can filter or get rid of the allergens and other particles. The most reliable and commonly used filter is HEPA aka High-Efficiency Particulate Air. The models with HEPA rated filters can get rid of 99.97% of the airborne particles like allergens, mold, dust, and animal dander.

Technology

Not all technology is healthy for you and your family. So, check out the technology prior to the purchase. Avoid the air purifiers with UV filtration and ionization based purifiers as they emit ozone which is harmful to your health and may lead to respiratory problems.

Portability and weight

If you plan on shifting your air purifiers often, then avoid the struggle of shifting the heavily weighted air purifiers and buy a portable air purifier. Though the portable purifiers are smaller in size, they are as efficient as the bigger ones and will clean the air in your room with the same efficiency. They don't take up much space off your room and are quite cheaper compared to the large ones that take up most space in your room.

Noise and Energy rating

Every air purifiers make noise, but if you do not want a noisy environment then do check the noise levels. The ideal noise level for a fan running at top speed is 35db. So, check the noise level and the reviews of other users on the online sites before the purchase. Many purifiers also come with sleep mode which reduces the noise level to its maximum extent. 

Besides, check the energy rating of the air purifier as well. The models with higher energy star are more efficient and use less amount of electricity. Save energy, save the environment, and go for the higher energy star rated air purifiers.

Maintenance

The filters of the air purifiers must be replaced quite often and the purifier must be maintained quite often; so, don't forget to check the after-sale service of the company. 

Warranty

Check all the terms and conditions in the warranty while buying an air purifier.

Air Purifiers, as the name suggests, remove harmful dust, volatile organic compounds, dander, mold spores, smoke, dust mites, and pollen from the room sparing your surrounding from any unhealthy particles. If you are someone who suffers from an allergy or has respiratory issues, then do get an air purifier for yourself.

 

Place the air purifier in your room, turn it on, wait for a few hours, and then you get a pollen and molds free room safe for you to breathe. There are different types of air purifiers available for you. Now, note this, not every air purifier is healthy. Some may promise to provide you with a dust-free environment but may end up bestowing respiratory and other health problems. So choose your air purifier wisely. 

HEPA Air Purifiers

HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air which is widely used in worldwide households. It is a standard of filtration designed to strain out microscopic particles. Primarily, the purifier collects the impure or polluted air, then the pollutants are collected by the filters of the purifier. After the air is purified, the pure air is pumped out to the environment and more polluted air is drawn to purify. HEPA air purifiers are the most reliable and safe air purifiers; furthermore, it is widely used throughout the world. In the context of Nepal as well, there are many HEPA air purifiers in the market. And, as far as I'm concerned, it is the best of all. If you want to be healthy and breathe clean air, then do go for the HEPA air purifiers. However, they require a lot of maintenance, and you may have to replace them frequently.

Activated Carbon Air Purifier

Air purifiers with activated carbon technology are best to eliminate the smoke, odors, fumes, and gasses from the room. It is suitable for the ones who are sensitive to odors and natural gas. Most of the activated carbon air purifiers also include HEPA filters to remove air particles from the air. The activated carbon air purifiers are best for removing odors, fumes, gases, chemicals, and smokes; however, they are not suitable if you want to remove dust, pollens, and other airborne particles unless the model has HEPA filters to collect the dust and other airborne particles.

UV Air Purifiers

As UV rays of the sun damage the skin cells, the UV rays from such purifiers destroy the microbes and particles in the air. Like the HEPA air purifiers, UV air purifiers also collect the air, then using the UV lamp that produces UV-C light, it kills the microbes and bacteria in the air, and then throws the air out into the surrounding. This kind of air purifier help to get rid of the microorganism rather than the non-living organism. They are mostly available in medical settings. If you want to get rid of bacteria, microbes, and fungi, then do go for the UV air purifiers. However, it is debated that the UV air purifiers release ozone which is not healthy for you. But, if used in a specific wavelength, the ozone produced will not be harmful.

Ozone generators

Ozone air purifiers release ozone while purifying the air. Ozone is a compound formed by three oxygen atoms, often created by chemical reactions between nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). At the ground level, ozone can trigger a variety of health problems, especially for the elderly, asthmatics, and children. This air purifier is in the list to make you aware of its existence and to alert you to avoid any sort of air purifier that releases ozone. The salesmen ensure you that ozone won't harm your health and do you good, which is not the case. The ozone emitted by the ozone air purifiers are harmful to your health and may result in several harmful respiratory diseases. They are not available for purchase and are restricted by several governments throughout the world. However, be cautious of the Ozone generating air purifier.

The sole purpose of an air purifier is to clean the pollutants from your room and maintain a healthy pollutant and bacteria-free environment. But it will not be able to function and serve its purpose if it itself is not properly maintained. The steps and process of maintaining and taking care of an air purifier differ with its types. Nevertheless, here are few things you should take into consideration for a long-lasting air purifier.

Place in an open area

You buy an air purifier to clean the room and its atmosphere. But will it be fair if contrasting to its purpose, you place it in a congested place? It may clean that particular area, but the rest of the room may still be filled with pollutants. Moreover, if you place an air purifier in a corner-blocked by your furniture, the air purifier won't be able to serve its purpose. So, place the purifier in an open space from where it can easily suck the pollutants and make your room air clean. Also, make sure to place it in a clean area or clean the area continuous to avoid any inefficiency.

Check filter indicator

Make sure to check the filter indicator timely. Also, check the permanent filters and their situation timely to ensure your air purifier is working effectively.

Turn off the air purifier

It is mandatory for the protection and preservation of every electronic, turn off the equipment before unplugging it from the socket to avoid any form of circuit damage. Prior to the cleaning process, turn the air purifier off from the socket. And before that, make sure you turn off the air purifier before unplugging it. And also, do not place anything above the air purifier.

Cleaning insides and filter

Pre-filters are washable, so you can easily wash the dirt off the pre-filters. Also, do it regularly to secure sanitized filters. And if it is a HEPA or carbon filter, do not wash it and never ever vacuum the filters. If filters are dirty and filled with bacteria, then what good will they do to the air around us? So, cleaning the filters is essential. Also, clean the insides of the air purifier with a dry cloth. Avoid any form of dampness or water inside the air purifier. As for the outer parts, you can clean it with damp clothes. 

Cleaning permanent filters

Permanent filters are the most essential part of your air purifier. They cannot be changed if they stop working or get damaged; thereupon, make sure to check the permanent filters and its condition every 2 weeks and clean it every 3 months to avoid early obsolescence.
